ABC NEWS: Obama Forgets to Pay Restaurant Bill

14 Jun 2012

On Wednesday, President Obama stopped into Kenny’s BBQ and ate lunch with two barbers and two military personnel. The total bill was $55.58–a bill which ABC News admits Obama & Co. “overlooked” after eating.

However, ABC News is quick to remind us that the “White House corrected the oversight and settled the tab by the end of the business day.”

Just a couple of thoughts here:

First, what would ABC NEWS have reported if President George W. Bush had failed to pay his tab before walking out?

Second, whatever happened to real reporting? Why can’t ABC News at least wonder aloud if indeed it was Obama’s undeniable air of entitlement that led him to slip out of the restaurant with an unpaid tab?
